persistence remains a mystery. Similarly, from the perspective of water supply and use, it is clear that the crisis would have reached disaster proportions if had not economic downturns in industry and agriculture taken place since 1989.

(Pilica catchment in Sulejów, central Poland). The consequence will be an intensification of freshwater eutrophication, of which the most dangerous symptom, especially in reservoirs which supply drinkingwater, is the appearance of toxic algal blooms.
The development of ecotones positively depends on temperature, rain and water level. From among the many scenarios of global climate change, two : the GISS and GFLD scenarios have been considered in relation to their effect on freshwater ecosystems

Drawing on a case study of drinkingwater contamination by arsenic in Bangladesh, the article examines the mobilisation and outcomes of participation and community in water provision and arsenic mitigation. It seeks to problematise the ways
The map (1/100.000) is based on lithology on the aquifer and its possible cover layers and on the depth of the water table. Data on the map suggest a safer situation than presently exists. - (LW)
in evaporation, extraction of groundwater. In some dried areas surface water from elsewhere is infiltrated for later recovery for the use as drinkingwater. Vegetation of dried slacks which get wet sometimes is of a ruderal character and atypical of dunes.
In about half of the Dutch coastal dunes, the former wet slacks have dried during the last 100 years. The purpose of this study was to find causes of drying. A fall in water table was the major cause, others were coastal erosion, increase
This preliminary study of the leachates of thirteen selected landfills in a highly industrialised region permitted a better understanding and interpretation of their potential impact on drinkingwater resources. (LW).

There have been three different types of utilisation of karst water : drinkingwater, mechanical power of the springs (and streams), supply for artificial lakes of recreational use. Nowadays, the most important usage is the water supply
for the artificial lakes in the Orfü Valley. These lakes were dammed in the 1970s for recreational purposes. To maintain this usage, water pollution has to be prevented in the karst region. - (ZK)

Last few years quality of the water of the River Rhine has been examined in detail by taking about 20 000 samples. In this lecture, some future objects and problems of the cleaning of waste water, the protection of water quality and the importance
